Yesterday’s Thief is a small book I’ve got by participating to LibraryThing early reviewer / membership giveaway program.

The main character is Eric Beckman, a private detective, which has a unique gift he uses during his investigation (No spoilers! 🙂 Go get the book if you want to know what it is..).

The book is interesting and the global context (energy shortage) feels like a possible and near future of our own society.

The book contains funny situations (mainly due to Eric’s gift) and made me smile a couple of time. Add a bit of action, a taste of sci-fi / thriller and hop! No hard sci-fi here, just a cool entertainment.

Sure, nothing’s perfect… The book is a bit short and some situations lack a bit of development or background in my humble opinion. Nothing too serious, though.
